Capacitive Sensing Switch

An Introduction to Capacitive Sensing Technology

In electrical engineering, capacitive sensing is a technology, based on capacitive coupling, that takes human body capacitance as input. Capacitive Sensors detect change in capacitance, at the sensing pad, because of the human body capacitance.

Why Capacitive?

Capacitive sensing technology has numerous advantages over competing technologies, such as Mechanical switches and membrane switches.

Durability

Solid-state construction makes it extraordinarily rugged.

Flexibility

Capacitive sensors can be made extremely thin, light weight, or even on curved surface.
